Lawsuit Challenges EPA Cancellation of $7 Billion Solar Program
What happened
The Conservation Law Foundation is challenging the Environmental Protection Agency's cancellation of the $7 billion 'Solar for All' program in court. The EPA had shuttered the initiative in August 2025 and rescinded all grants, despite two federal judges previously ruling that the cancellation was illegal. The EPA has until mid-November to appeal the court rulings.

Why it matters
The program was designed to expand access to solar energy in low-income communities, potentially lowering energy bills and supporting clean energy jobs. The status of the grants, including $156 million won by Massachusetts, remains uncertain while the EPA reviews its options for appeal.
